Help wanted
Hades- waiting at the entrance after the six month period, Persphone never returns. He searches her usual spots and never finds her. He contacts her mother who has not seen her. Lies, Persphones mother has seen her. She has not let her out of her sight. Dolly- Demeter would never let harm come to her. Gia made the arrangement as Demeter was waiting at the entrance for her daughter’s return and witnessed the mind wipe. But Demeter was still pissed at Hades and did not feel the need to help him find her beloved Persphone. Demeter wanted the best possible outcome for Persphone and maybe a fresh start was the way. Hades lets his emotions cloud his judgement, anger and humiliation set in search after search and nothing no trace. Hades breaks Gia’s rules and seeks help from the chambers.
Hades- walking by each chamber until he reaches the red door. Ares. Ares has been asleep but asleep is a gentle term. Gia wanted each of the children decommissioned not destroyed. Each god and goddess had been physically restrained with the ability to observe the events unfolding on the surface. War, peace, the rise and fall of civilizations the gods and goddess had to watch, detached and unable to influence events as they once were. A fitting punishment for how badly they had behaved and created a world of utter chaos after the trojan war. Gia felt it was time for the humans to take control unhindered. The gods and goddess may have a chance to try again after they enlightened themselves. Hades unlocked the door. Ares was still in peak condition. The god of war stood 5 foot 7 inches build like a truck. His brown hair had grown shaggy on top. No signs of major deterioration, the underworld was not a kind place to those who were not accustom. His olive skin did not pail his battle scars were never on the skins surface. He had plenty but they were all carried inside. Not that he would ever divulge them. Ares body was the ultimate weapon what his physical form couldn’t do his mind made up for. There was no doubt in Hades mind that Ares was perfect for this mission. Hades released his bonds and woke him. Ares’s jade green eyes opened and adjusting to the new settings punched Hades square in the jaw.
Fuck you, you son of a b***h. Ares spit.
Nice to see you too, nephew. Hades smiled wickedly. Glad to see you still have the fire in you after all this time.
Not much choice. Ares said stretching, he fell to the push up position and began pumping his arms up and down. At least the wound has healed, and I never had to see that c**k sucker Paris again. He growled. Hades walked Ares out of the chamber and down the hall. Ares hesitated at the first door to the right.
She isn’t coming. Hades stated flatly.
Good I don’t want to see her anyway. Ares said shifting his weight.
Are you coming? Hades asked. In spite of the comment Ares still had not moved from the door. Ares put a hand against the door. The wood felt cold and hard against his palm. He steadied his thoughts. It was clear he had to distance himself from her, she had hurt him the most. Now was not the time he raged to himself. Regardless he could not help giving a final glance at the door as he walked away, his shoulders sagged defeated.
Do you wanna talk about it? Hades asked sheepishly.
NO f**k you there is nothing to talk about she made it clear on the battlefield. Ares huffed. What the f**k did you wake me up for a fireside chat. If so, I pass and send me back to sleep, I could watch the Connor McGregor fight in peace aside from that this world is garbage. Hades smiled. All this time and Ares was still such a little b***h when it came to her. He was in over his head and never knew how to deal with his feelings.
Night before final battle
Ares why did you have to begin this Aphrodite. You and your vanity are going to f**k this up for all of us. What is the human to you? Are you sleeping with him, what is he giving you that I have not? Ares asked jealousy flaring red across his cheeks.
I promised him safety and Helen. Aphrodite said dispassionately. I will not back out he is pure of heart. Aphrodite aggressively brushed her hair.
The f**k he is if he is so pure then why is he trying to bag a married woman. A happily married woman! Ares screamed. Aphrodite jumped dropping the brush.
Look you don’t agree fine stay the f**k out of it. Aphrodite spit her anger flaring.
You are telling me to stay out of it. Hypocrite! Why do you need so much f*****g admiration? Why can’t you just be happy with ME! You involved so many for what?! One human to tell you how pretty you are compared to your sisters. What the f**k? You insecure little s**t. Ares screamed. His rage only increasing with the clarity his words brought. His mind was running full speed and his mouth was keeping pace. Aphrodite’s jaw dropped.
Fuck you Ares. Aphrodite shock her head violently as if trying to shake the truth of his words off. Go f**k yourself. All that brain power and no f*****g sense! Aphrodite screamed tears running down her cheeks. If you are not with me you are against me, she spit. Athena can help her little Greeks as much as she wants but this is going to be talked about for years to come. I am holding up my end I never asked for your help. She said standing from the bed arms folded across her chest tossing her hair over her shoulder. Ares stormed over to the bed and threw Aphrodite against the mattress. His eyes burning. Aphrodite pushed against Ares. Get off of me! she screamed.
You want to throw everything away for this human, I bleed for you time and time again. I dealt with your bull s**t all these years for you to throw me away like this fine! You want to leave me to deal with this f*****g child Paris fine. I will watch and laugh at you hysterically from the side lines. I am god of war the ultimate strategist and you are a fool for disregarding my advice. Ares gave her a final shove in the mattress and stormed off slamming the door behind him. Aphrodite jumped from the mattress and began throwing all Ares weapons around the room. Leaving it in utter disrepair. Aphrodite slumped to the floor after her fit. She laid there until the early light of the morning. Blood red sun burst through the window. War was upon us and Ares did not bless it, he had made it abundantly clear.
